Are You A Mink?

So, I'm watching the last ten minutes of American Idol last night. I don't normally watch the show, with the exception of the first few episodes because I love to watch the train wrecks that audition. But my wife watches the show and I had finished up my work for the evening and went out to join her.

If you want a run down of what actually happened in the show, you should check out Ann Althouse's review of "American Idol" -- the last 8 women. But anyway, the last singer was this cute little thing Kellie Pickler - from her little video montage she appears to be this sweet little country girl who loves her dog and comes across as your typical playful, yet dumb blonde. Well, at the end of her performance, Simon tells her "Kellie, you're what's known as a naughty little minx," and later "I kind of prefer you to last year's winner." She confusingly asks Simon, or anyone else who would answer, "What's a minx?" But it gets better, as Seacrest is given Kellie her send off and reminding us of the telephone number for her, as serious as a judge, she yells into the mic "I'm a mink!" Seacrest did correct her, after laughing first, which I think was the reaction of anyone watching it.

Outside of the train wrecks at the beginning of each season, my truly favourite Idol moment... "I'm a mink!"
